Red (Bokmål: Rødt, Nynorsk: Raudt, Northern Sami: Ruoksat) is a Norwegian Revolutionary socialist political party, founded on 11 March 2007. It is the result of a fusion between Workers' Communist Party (AKP) and Red Electoral Alliance (RV). The leader of Red is Torstein Dahle, the previous leader of the Red Electoral Alliance. Due to Norwegian election laws the party recognized as the Red Electoral Alliance during the 2007 local elections.

After the 2007 local elections, Knut Henning Thygesen became the party's first and only mayor through a direct mayor election in the municipality of Risør.[1]
